Skin peeling and raw after shaving bikini area.
posted 24th May '12
So since I have this huge 9 month old belly in my way, shaving is kind or something that I try to "wing". I haven't shaved down there in awhile and I know my checkup is coming up and they might do a dilation check. So I wanted to be trim LOL. Well after shaving, I could tell right away that I got/getting razor burn. The razor burn is between my labia majora and my thighs (the crease). I caked on baby powder like I ALWAYS do to prevent my thighs from rubbing and to stay "dry" down there. That was like 2 days ago and today I felt my razor burn and started to scratch off the baby powder bc it felt caked on. It felt like it was burning more so I grabbed a mirror to check it out and the crease looks like it's peeling and all raw with razor bumps. Is there anything I can do to relieve this?

I use the monistat powder gel chafing stuff. It seems to work really well. When it's hot I have to reapply it often but it keeps me from getting red or irritated in that area.

I had an ear infection 4 weeks ago and took antibiotics. I started to get a yeast infection and my MW prescribed me the pill for the infection. Never used that before, only Monistat. But that was like 2 weeks ago and everything cleared up bc it never really flared up enough to be out of control. Could this be an aftermath or just ironic bc I shaved?

I really dont know. I know that if I don't use the powder gel after shaving I get really bad red bumps and itchy and just yuck. It could be bad because of everything rubbing down there. I use to use the gel in between my legs too when I wore skirts because my legs would rub and become irritated.

I put neosporin on it and it feels a tad bit better. Hopefully it will be somewhat better by my apt tomorrow LOL
